Cessna 172 for Sale

Manufactured since 1956 and with over 40,000 built, the Cessna 172 is a solid and reliable four seater, widely used by private owners and clubs. It has been constantly modified with different tails, rear view windows etc. and with engines from 145 hp to 180 hp. With big flaps, it is easy to fly and the current 172S has a Garmin 1000 glass cockpit.

Have owned the plane for nearly 6 years and fly most week-ends- approx 520 hours-flown to most islands in the British isles- from the Scilly isles to Unst (Shetlands) including Lundy isle and beach landing Barra- also all countries from the North cape (Norway) to the Canary Isles. The only glitch was the loss of my rectifier in Norway- sorted in 4 hours. The plane (a Hawk-6 cylinder injected vp prop ) will take off and land in less than 300 mts-can economy cruise at 110 knts -7 usa galls-climb at 1000 fpm@100knts-2 up.A very good machine for long distance cruising-but also excellent for rough short field landings.would recommend it to any one-very economical -excellent visability. This is my third aircraft. Wish it had been my first.Probably will be my last...

World famous Cessna 172 - easy to fly, forgiving plane - wonderful view as well as for the passengers. I think anyone who flies or has flown this type of aircraft agrees on its friendly handling and fine performance on short distance flights
